Abstract
There are many ways to prepare for disaster. Indeed, the list of possible actions is nearly endless. Some activities, however, are best viewed within the concept of mitigation—that is, purposive acts designed toward the elimination of, reduction in probability of, or reduction of the effects of potential disasters. Specific examples include land-use management programs whereby people are restricted from building in flood-prone areas, or the more stringent building code requirements that have been adopted by many communities with histories of seismic activity. These are the focus of Chapters 8 and 9.
